      I have a sworks power and it’s good, I have a sworks romin evo that is the best. IMO

      My butt fell in love with the enve saddle. I use TI rails on the gravel bikes and carbon rails on the road bike. Been slowly buying it for all of my bikes.

      Despite the huge weight penalty, brooks C15 (carved). I spent 13 hours on this saddle Saturday. And almost all of that time was climbing in the saddle. Almost everything hurt after. Except my ass.

      Of course sometimes saddles just don’t work for some people but have a tinker with bike fit before you write it off as rubbish. Often saddle issues are related to bike fit rather than the saddle itself.

      I have a Fizik Argo vento R1 on my road/race bike which I like a lot. I just got a Fizik Terra Argo X1, the equivalent for gravel (same saddle but with a little flap in the cutout to prevent water or mud spray).

      I happen to have an Aspero too, which I ride fast on light gravel with slick tires au Quebec comme toi hehe

      Might just not be the saddle for you. I fot a specialized power mimic(?) At a Bike fit and liked it for just long enough to pass the 30 day return date, went bikepacking and hated it by the end. Went back to Ergon and have no intention of going to a specialized saddle again

      Starting point is measuring the width of your pelvic bones and finding a saddle that accommodates that nicely. Beyond that it’s a bit of trial and error.

      My Canyon Grizl came with a fizik Argo x3 which turns out to be one of the most comfortable saddles I’ve ever had. I run a Ergon SM Pro in my mtb which I thought was ace but I changed my mind on that since getting the fizik.
